Mia is a fiction writer with two young sons who was widowed about 3 years ago. In a tribute to her husband's memory, her latest book is a memoir. Reviews haven't been too positive - some reviewers are lamenting that she hasn't put enough of herself into the book. Others readers miss the humor that was in her fiction but not in this memoir.
Her three best friends, who all live out of town, got her through the first years after her husband's sudden death, and they are now working to help Mia get her book at least a bit more publicity by setting up small events in each of their cities. More important to Mia, though, is the state of her friends' relationships to their own significant others. She's trying to be a fixer. She's also navigating her relationship to her father who's been married to his second wife for a few years, after himself being widowed.
This was a very fast read, and as I discovered in the acknowledgements, the book is somewhat autobiographical for this author.
